What Makes a Good Medical Image Tokenizer? Rethinking Reconstruction and Generation in Medical Image Tokenization

Niklas Bubeck, Yundi Zhang, Vasiliki Sideri-Lampretsa +4

Latent diffusion models now dominate medical image generation, and every such pipeline rests on a \emph{tokenizer} that compresses images into the latent codes for image generation…

What Cohort INRs Encode and Where to Freeze Them

Vasiliki Sideri-Lampretsa, Sophie Starck, Robbie Holland +2

Reusing the early layers of cohort-trained INRs as initialization for new signals has been shown to accelerate and improve signal fitting, yet it remains unclear which layers of th…
